Outlook 365, how to go back to OLD ribbon graphics and icons
I find outlook totally unusable since it updated to the new for-toddler icons. Not only is it ugly, it's distracting and unusable. As if outlook is broken and running in safe-let's-go-back-to-1995-m...
Seems to be the way of the world, dumbing down. There are some of us resisting it but we seem to be so few. Is the majority so happy with what MS are doing? Or is the majority in fact those who do not actually 'buy' Offfice but acquire it by other means or with only a few bucks so they don't actually have a vested interest anyway? I really miss my old truly moddable Office.
sorry, I don't know how to post.
In Outlook in the top right side you can see a small arrow.
It will alternate between Simplified ribbon and Classic ribbon.
I hope this helps.
- Aaah, great, thank you. I have to admit I have rarely used Outlook since it lost its Journal feature (another 'brilliant' move on MS's part 🙄).
I really do not understand their thinking - it's so inconsistent across the Office package. The simple toggle between Simplified and Classic ribbons you describe ought to be found throughout but isn't. Ho hum.
